Dermatologists are sounding the alarm on this 'incredibly dangerous' trend.
"People are also buying various forms of silicone, sometimes not intended for human use," Devgan adds.
And even if you do magically find one that contains exactly what it says it does and is approved by the Food and Drug Administration, you still have to know how to correctly inject it.This may seem obvious, but trying to inject yourself with filler of any sort — even if it is legit and straight from the manufacturer — is incredibly dangerous for many, many reasons. Thanks to DIY YouTube tutorials and social media posts, however, it might also seem like it's easy enough to do on your own.
"Now, we can actually watch fillers being injected on Instagram, YouTube, etc., and that may give one a false sense of security because it looks so 'easy.'" says Ritu Saini, a board-certified dermatologist based in New York City. "The potential complications can be catastrophic." Social media has made injectables look so "regrettably easy," says Devgan. "It seems like just pushing fluid out of a syringe, but the technical aspects of these procedures require extensive knowledge of tissue behavior and anatomic relationships," she says. "Facial anatomy is extremely complex."explains Devgan, because it is in direct communication with the vessels that feed the brain.

Methadone Clinic Must Be Having Some Sort Of Big PartyNEW YORK—Calling the atmosphere on the sidewalk across the street “positively electric,” sources confirmed Thursday that the local methadone clinic must be having some sort of big party. “Man, it’s only 3 p.m. and there’s already a line around the block,” said Bruce Riley, 32, adding that the party must have been “totally off the hook” because everybody outside seemed really excited to get in, and all of the people leaving appeared to be pretty satisfied. “How did I not hear about this? Because it seems like sort of an everyday thing. I see there’s a couple of people passed out—I guess they must have been going a little too hard. Wow, this is a pretty hip crowd. I wonder if I could get in wearing these sneakers?” At press time, Riley admitted that he would probably need to slip a $20 bill to the bouncer wearing the black nursing scrubs.
